How to legally use Sonos at your business

Sonos commercial accounts for bars, restaurants and offices

I grew up on the flat plains of Kansas, and I've been walking uphill both ways ever since. I'm a vinyl lover and a former public radio jazz DJ. I like basketball so much, I wrote a book about it. But more than anything, I love music and the way the right song can change my whole day.

Is Sonos right for your business? And if so, how can you use it to provide licensed, legal music that perfectly suits your clientele? We’ll answer those questions in this article.

Does my business even need music?

The minute a customer walks in the door of your establishment, he or she begins to form an opinion – is this my kind of place? If you want them to answer “yes” and come back again, everything has to be right: product selection, service, décor, and, yes, music.

Why you need a licensed commercial music source

Artists are legally entitled to collect royalties when their music is played for paying customers. Licensing organizations with alphabet soup monikers - ASCAP, SESAC, and BMI – are responsible for enforcing the law and collecting the royalties for performers. Fines for playing unlicensed music can be quite steep.

What are my options for getting licensed music?

Fortunately, you don’t have to go directly to each licensing organization and dicker over details. Several commercial music services exist, and their sole purpose is to deliver a ready-made plate of licensed and legal musical “stations” for you to choose from.

They pay the royalties and set up the delivery system. You pay them a subscription fee, and avoid the hassle, so you can focus on serving customers.

What type of music should I play?

Depends how involved you want to be. Licensing services usually assemble stations that are chock-full of songs that suit a certain mood. A trendy clothing store for teens might choose a station that would go over like a lead balloon in an upscale restaurant. If you know what vibe you want to cultivate, odds are there’s already a station that will meet your needs.

Many licensing services offer customizable playlists, so if you’re hands-on, or your desired clientele is just that eclectic and unpredictable, you can make your own choices.

Sonos hardware for commercial installations

The Sonos CONNECT is a terrific music source for commercial audio installations. Sonos powered speakers are designed for residential use. We don't recommend them for commercial applications.

Your best bet is to talk to one of our commercial audio design specialists. They’ll ask a few questions about your space, then give you some free advice about how to fill it with music your customers will love.
